We attach importance in the effort by all students to register impressive marks as they complete their high school level in preparation to proceed to tertiary levels. Our expectations on this class are high as they seek to emulate and even surpass the achievements of their predecessors who, over the last years achieved a steady and consistent increase in the matric pass rate, culminating in the 78.2% national senior certificate pass rate achieved last year, with the improving overall passes every year, we are now focussing on improving the quality of the results. As the Youth League we have made education one of our foremost priorities because of its potential to contribute in both industrial and knowledge economy. Therefore we advice all young people to take up education as a pillar in their struggle for economic emancipation in their lifetime. We further calls upon families and communities to unreservedly support our matriculates by providing a conducive environment for them to study and thrive in their quest for academic excellence during this time. 6th ANC NKANGALA REGIONAL CONFERENCE The African National Congress Youth League wishes the ANC in our region to hold a successful 6th elective conference. The regional conference should be conducted with utmost political maturity and discipline and be held in accordance with the ANC constitution. The 6th regional conference of the ANC will be required to review progress with regards to our strategic objectives, engage on our policies, assess the state of our organization and elect the regional leadership. We anticipate that this should be a watershed conference, what makes a conference watershed is usually determined in hindsight, by future generations looking back at particular events and how they impacted on subsequent development in the country. Secondly the nature of decisions taken, their signally of major strategic and organisational shifts and in the process taking the struggle to higher levels. In a nutshell this conference should be characterised by the battle of ideas specifically on the ideological direction of the ANC. As we move closer to the conference we further urge our delegates to use this event to remind ourselves not to confuse the nation and our voters through petty squabbles and factionalism. As a leader of the society, the ANC must lead by example, displaying cohesion, clarity and respect for one another and for the nation as a whole. You are further urged to pursue the course of the greatest unity of democratic forces, especially the revolutionary alliance. We urge you to unite and build our glorious movement the ANC, and protect and defend it from all sorts a negative tendencies, corruption and opportunism, in our longest serving president OR Tambo”s memory we should at the upcoming 6th regional conference in Ermelo, to take forward the renewal of the organisation as resolved by the 53rd national conference in Mangaung 2012, we must recommit ourselves to renew the ANC’s core values and principles such as unity, selflessness, sacrifice, collective leadership, humanity, honesty, discipline, hard work, internal debates and mutual respect. The people of Nkangala region needs a united, cohesive and strong ANC to take forward the transformation programme and advance the national democratic revolution (NDR). “ Unity is the bedrock upon the ANC was founded” Said the Stalwart former president of the ANC NR Mandela We are inspired by OR Tambo’s legacy to strive to unite Nkangala region and liberate it from the shackles of oppression. The conference must elect the leadership collective at this level that will lead the task of transformation with diligence, honestly and that will represent the aspirations of the people of Nkangala.
